Gallery Director, Peter Kolliner, said the demonstrations during the opening weekend of the exhibition are aimed at providing the public with access to lampworking techniques to create greater understanding of this ancient art form.
As a result of Kirra's support of the artists working in this medium, glass art produced using a flame has experienced a resurgence and this is the 8th annual overview of contemporary flame formed glass exhibition held by Kirra Galleries.
The work of twenty-nine Australian Flame Glass Artists will form an exhibition of international standard with works ranging from jewellery, perfume bottles to sculpture, making this exhibition one for collectors of personal items of contemporary glass art as well as signature pieces for homes and apartments.
